What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying audio/biomedical signal ML in collaborative teams, with opportunities for research impact and project leadership.

I am a data scientist with over ten years of experience in audio signal processing and applied machine learning.

Since October 2022 I have worked at The Navigator Company performing data analysis across HR, energy, supply chain and industrial projects, carrying coding responsibilities in Python, SQL and R and taking on project management duties.

Previously, as a researcher at the Centre for Informatics and Systems of Univ. Coimbra (2013–2022), I led research on respiratory sound analysis, co-created a widely cited public respiratory sound database in close collaboration with respiratory physicians and physiotherapists, and developed novel audio features for music mood and structure analysis.

I hold an MSc in Sound and Music Computing and am a PhD student researching automatic analysis of cough and adventitious respiratory sounds, with strengths in machine learning, pattern recognition, time-series and biomedical signal processing.
